VALIDATING CONTROL OF DOMAIN ZONE

摘要

A requestor requests a domain zone control validation from a validating entity. The validating entity generates a pass string. The requestor enters the pass string into a domain zone. The validating entity determines if the pass string was entered in the domain zone. If the pass string is present in the domain zone, the domain zone control was successfully validated.
